Haway the Braw! - A Redwall Poem

Note: This poem was made by Border Squirrels and Highland Squirrels during the Siege of the Northlands, in which the ferret Urvan Dass took over the area. As a sign of rebellion, the squirrels would sing this poem as a challenge to their captors:

Oh if you dare, if you dare,

try and fight us one day,

bring all your friends and all your mighty horde,

If you dare, if you dare, perhaps one day,

have our champion meet your mighty Lord!

_________________________________________

But we know, but we know, 

that there is no way,

that you would fight fair and not send half your force,

if you dare, if you dare, perhaps one day,

your kind will be filled with remorse!

_________________________________________

Your kind, oh your kind,

never do obey,

you always break your word and the law,

if you dare, if you dare, perhaps one day,

You will heed the words 'Haway the braw!'

__________________________________________

For many seasons, many seasons,

Your kind have ruled this land, 

With an iron fist, a rod and cruel sword,

if you dare, if you dare, perhaps one day,

you will fear the name of the great Arthas Ramord!

___________________________________________

Your days, oh your days,

number very few,

For our armies have started to amass,

if you dare, if you dare, perhaps one day, 

you will rue the days you served Urvan Dass!

___________________________________________

Haway the braw,

Haway the braw,

bring all your mighty horde,

you will find the Elm and Oak Crew,

led by Arthas Ramord!
